Thriller Opening Effect

During planning, we had thought about using the old fashioned footage effect with flickering lines and dots on the screen. But we changed our mind thinking that it was too common and we would rather be more original with our film. So, we have found an effect called 'Dream', which gives the feel of just that. It suggests that although it was quite a long time ago, it is still in someones mind. And because it is filmed in a home video style, it suggests that it is playing over and over in the persons head.

  1. Good. Can you refer to example of the 'old footage' in existing thrillers? Also, to boost your technology score, why not do a short post with some screen grabs showing how to add the effect (and the difference it makes when compared to the original shot).
